We all know IT service and online retail giant Amazon is trying to take over the world. They have newspapers, food delivery, and also grocery store. That’s to name a few. But now they could be in pharmacy. Amazon big pharma: Could it happen?
So according to several news reports, Amazon won approval from 12 states. This approval allows them to distribute wholesale pharma drugs. These states cross all regional and political lines. So far, they include Idaho, Alabama, Connecticut, North Dakota, Nevada. Maine will probably be next. But Massachusetts, home of our computer service shop, it’s not one of them. At least not yet.
However, don’t go looking for your pharmacy drugs on Amazon yet. Because they still need the proper licencing, which they don’t have. Of course, nobody at Amazon is talking. However, the sources of this info are credible enough. One source is healthcare and bank firm Leernik Partners. Some of their leaders say Amazon does plan to enter big pharma. They could do so by partnering or merging with another big pharma company.? Amazon big pharma could even go on their own. One way they can do this is through mail order pharmacy delivery. We all know they have the power and know how to do so. Look at their online and grocery delivery.
You can best believe, rivals are freaking out about this. For example, pharmacy giant CVS is now talking about merging with healthcare giant Aetna. I wish I were a fly in the wall to hear what other big pharma and healthcare leaders say about this. Obviously, Amazon can’t wholesale pharma drugs now. But this is Amazon. Why are they successful in taking over the world? Because when they want to do something, they do it. It matters not the time nor the cost, so long as they meet their ultimate goal: WORLD DOMINATION! We learned that with this Whole Foods deal. I don’t think Amazon will ever be satisfied until all 7.5 billion people are totally dependent on Amazon. And that is scary, especially for those of us in small business; the backbone of the American economy, well, at least it was. What about the rest of us?
